looking for a gallery randomizer script/program

kane · 2007-09-06, 05:53 AM

I hope I am posting this in the correct forum.

basically what I am looking for a script where I can build up a database of many different FHGs then the script will randomize them. Basically just mix/match and jumble the order all up. This will let me just cut and past the top 50 and know I am getting a nice random sample.

The script doesn't need to publish anything, basically just randomize my list.

If you know of anything that will do this (even if it is a script that publishes the links to your site) please let me know.

thanks in advance.

There are lots of scripts that will manage a database of FHG (and/or HFS), but if all you want is a randomized list of 50 or so gallery links, you could use Excel or some other spreadsheet to do that. Just add an extra column and insert the Random function into the first field in that column, then you can use the Fill Down command to put random numbers into the entire column. Now you sort the whole sheet using the random number column as the sorting key and you can grab 50 links of your newly randomized list.

Thanks for the suggestion. After reading this I did some looking on Google and found a good way to do this and I think this will actually do exactly what I am looking for.
